As the four elders of the Ancient Forest World's human race, their cultivation levels were high, and they held great power. Among the humans of the Ancient Forest World, they were existences that stood by their words.
But in front of Lin Qian, none of them put on airs. They did not resort to any despicable methods, nor did they flaunt their seniority.
What they did was to lower their heads. For the entire Ancient Forest World's human race, they put down their dignity.
This was to let the human race live a better life.
Furthermore, along the way, they saw a team in the gathering place, hunting spirit beasts outside the gathering place.
This team was still made up of the four races. Compared to the teams from other gathering places, there was no difference. But looking closely, they saw a huge difference.
In the past, in the other gathering places' teams, the human race only had two responsibilities.
One was to be cannon fodder, to attract the attention of the spirit beasts. If they were lucky, they could still survive. If they were unlucky, they could only die a martyr's death.
The other was naturally to assist from the side, to help the other three races attack. But usually, it only served to distract them. If they were not careful, they would still die a tragic death.
Every time a team went out, it was the humans who died the most, and there would be people dying every time.
But the humans still went forward wave after wave. Only then could the other three races prove that the human race was definitely not a burden.
But this time, they clearly saw that the human race in the team was the main attacker, while the other three races were assisting from the side.
And the strength of the main attacker was actually far stronger than the other three races. This was something the four elders did not even dare to dream of in the past.
Clearly seeing the changes in the gathering place where Lin Qian was, the four elders were even more determined. Only he could save the entire human race of the Ancient Forest World.
This Lin Qian, was their hope!
Creak …
The sound of the courtyard door opening rang out. A gentle force helped the four elders up, and at this time, they also slowly straightened up and looked ahead.
In front of them, stood a young man in white robes, smiling at the four of them.
"The four of you, my name is Lin Qian, the Emperor of the Hua Xia Empire on the surface."
Lin Qian introduced himself as a return gift to the four elders in front of him, as well as a sign of respect for them.
The four clan elders looked at Lin Qian in front of them, their eyes filled with shock. At their level, they could already tell the other party's age just by looking at their backbone.
As long as they focused their soulsense on their eyes, the four elders could clearly see that Lin Qian's body was brimming with blood energy. There was a white aura within the blood-colored aura.
This white aura was none other than the backbone that symbolized Lin Qian's true age.
"He's only twenty-six years old. This Lin Qian is too terrifying!" The four elders looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
What was a genius? The one in front of him was one of them.
"I already know the purpose of your trip. Why don't you come in and talk about the details?" Lin Qian made an inviting gesture.
The four elders nodded and followed behind Lin Qian. As for Wang Gang, he did not follow them in. Instead, he left to deal with other matters.
After entering the small courtyard, the four elders noticed that there was already some food and wine on one of the stone tables. There were also five neatly placed jade cups.
"Sit!" Walking to the stone table, Lin Qian gestured for the four elders to sit down.
The four elders did not refuse. After sitting down, they looked at the five jade cups and realized that they were filled with a dark purple liquid …
Except for the jade cup in front of Lin Qian!
Lin Qian also sat down. Looking at the four elders in front of him, he asked, "Are the four of you here because your strength and realm are not as strong as before? Do you want to recover?"
However, after Lin Qian finished speaking, the four elders shook their heads at him. Wang Qiong Xing was the first to speak, "Lin Emperor, the four of us are here to beg you for the sake of the entire human race in the Ancient Lin World. Please save them. We will not let the human race die in vain. Even if we do, we must fight to the death with our true strength! "
After the four elders finished speaking, Lin Qian laughed coldly, "Anyone can say beautiful words. Since you want my help, you should show some sincerity. I am helping this colony because I need them to consume the potion and help me test its effects. "
Speaking up to this point, Lin Qian pointed at the four jade cups in front of him and said, "In these cups, there is a poison recently developed by the Hua Xia Empire. We need someone to help us test it. If we are lucky, we can survive. If we are unlucky, then we can't be sure. "
Speaking up to this point, Lin Qian used his soul power to pick up a drop of the potion from the jade cup and flicked it towards the spiritual wood beside him.
In the blink of an eye, the four elders clearly saw the spiritual wood wither and die in an instant.
Just this example alone was enough to prove that the potion in the jade cup was indeed extremely poisonous.
A gentle breeze blew, and in the blink of an eye, the withered leaves were blown away. They floated around the entire courtyard, but they could not get close to Lin Qian and the rest at all.
"Lin Emperor, if the four of us consume this potion and cooperate with the so-called research, what if we break our promise when we die?" The four elders did not follow Lin Qian's instructions and consume the potion in front of them. Wang Qiong Xing looked at Lin Qian with a serious expression and raised his doubts.
In response to Wang Qiong Xing's question, Lin Qian smiled and said, "I am not going to lie to you. Whether or not we can save the human race in the Ancient Forest World depends on your sincerity."
"Whether you are willing or not, that is your business. What obligation do I have to save the entire human race in the Ancient Forest World?" Lin Qian used his index finger to lightly knock on the stone table. He stared at the four elders in front of him and said, "The decision to drink or not to drink is in your hands."
After Lin Qian finished speaking, he did not say anything else and quietly waited for the four elders to make their decision.
However, what surprised Lin Qian was that the four elders in front of him raised the jade cup in their hands at the same time and drank the potion in one gulp. Then, they slammed the cup on the stone table with a loud bang.
After the four elders drank the potion, they stared at Lin Qian. Fu Deqing even smiled and said, "Lin Emperor, I hope you don't go back on your word!"
After saying that, the four elders closed their eyes and quietly waited for death to come.
They had already gotten rid of the elders from the other three races. If Lin Qian went back on his word, they would definitely kill him. After so many years of friendship, they would definitely help them accomplish this.
With regards to Lin Qian's request, they also felt that it was reasonable. The other party could take out such a miraculous medicine, so he must be an alchemist who had taken a different path. It was reasonable for experts like them to be alchemists.
When they closed their eyes, they felt something sticking to their bodies. It was a little cold. They did not care too much about it because the strong effect of the potion was already attacking them.
They were prepared to take a gamble. If they could resist the effects of the potion, they might be able to survive.
However, they did not know that Lin Qian was already covering his mouth and laughing. His shoulders were shaking non-stop.
The four elders of the Ancient Forest World did not know that what they had consumed was not a poison but a strengthened version of the cleansing potion.
